Here are some pics of the trunk. Yes, it does indeed match with other pictures of kretzschmaria deusta I found in the internet. Thanks Steve Bullman! And yes, right, without fruits and spores no spreading... Thanks MATTMOSS! For saprotrophic organisms environments with less than 80% water are sub-ideal for reproduction (according to Wikipedia). My target is to get the water content of the wood under 20%, so by bye fungus

Nice shed! I see you have used some decking boards, too

Hi thanks for the idea. I will get pics of the base maybe tomorrow. I had a look around and I have the impression that the black lines in Kretzschmaria are more distinct, like in this post: http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/fungi-pictures/14084-another-ustulina-k-deusta-syc.html#post252456 But maybe it depends on the tree or the stage of the infection? It says that Kretzschmaria is "saprophytic". So this could mean that the wood will keep rotting while laying in the pile the whole year, right? And potentially it could spread out to the oak, which is laying just next to it??? Or will the rotting process stop when the wood dries out?

What about "exidia glandulosa"? Could it cause this staining inside the wood? I think I saw some black jelly at the very base of the tree.

Thanks, I have re-posted this in the "tree-health" section...

Hi there, I posted this in "firewood" section already to find out, if the wood can be used as firewood, but I am still curious, if anybody knows what kind of disease the beech was suffering from and whether or not it is "contagious" for the other logs in the pile. Thanks for your replies!

Hi, we bought a 8kw stove this winter and so now I am chopping wood and piling it up for next winter. A lot of improvisation at the moment as you can see... Well, I enjoy getting rid of my gas bills and getting a bit of exercise at the same time Here, have a laugh:

Thanks for the quick answer! Any idea what kind of disease that is?

Hi there! The other day a beech fell close to my house. When I started harvesting the wood I noticed these black stains (see attachment), presumably some fungus. The wood doesn't feel rotten at all. My question is, will that wood keep rotting away during seasoning and next winter it won't burn? Thanks for your answers!
